This Week, in my children's literature's class, I have enjoyed one novel. "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes". It is based on the life of a real little girl who lived in Japan from 1943 to 1955. She was in hiroshima when the United States Air Force dropped an atom bomb on that city in an attemp to end World War Ⅱ. Ten years later she died as a result of radiation from the bomb. Her courage made sadako a heroine to children in Japan.
The most meaningful and unforgettale artifact in this book is the paper crane. The little Sadako was told by her best friend if she could accomplish folding 1,000 paper cranes in the hospital, eventually she would be healthy again. Unfortunately, she couldn't be a energetic and optimistic girl as what she was used to be. She died in the end with all the 645 crane papers haning on from the ceiling around her.
As a very tiny part in the universe, we can't make any decisions before we came to this world, nevertheless, we can be as wise as possible if we have sufficient insistence and faith to be a strong person in mind. Sadako has perfectly set us an example by her true whole lifespan suffering from a uncontronable power outside. For people who are now in the US, we all should be the determined angel cherishing the time with smiles on our faces.
Anyway, I have to back to my paper on globalization!
